Question: 1 Which is greater? (a) $\small 0.3$ or $\small 0.4$ (b) $\small 0.07$ or $\small 0.02$ (c) $\small 3$ or $\small 0.8$ (d) $\small 0.5$ or $\small 0.05$ (e) $\small 1.23$ or $\small 1.2$ (f) $\small 0.099$ or $\small 0.19$

(g) $\small 1.5$ or $\small 1.50$ (h) $\small 1.431$ or $\small 1.490$ (i) $\small 3.3$ or $\small 3.300$ (j) $\small 5.64$ or $\small 5.603$

Answer: We compare Decimals just like the way we compare normal numbers. First, we see the leftmost digit of the numbers and if they are same then we move toward the right digits. So,

(a) $\small 0.3$ or $\small 0.4$

0.4 is greater as while number part (the number before the decimal) is the same.

(b) $\small 0.07$ or $\small 0.02$

0.07 is greater

3 is greater as the whole part of the numbers are 3 and 0.so obviously 3 is greater than 0.

(d) $\small 0.5$ or $\small 0.05$

0.5 is greater

(e) $\small 1.23$ or $\small 1.2$

1.23 is greater

(f) $\small 0.099$ or $\small 0.19$

0.19 is greater

(g) $\small 1.5$ or $\small 1.50$

As we know that after the decimal, we can add as many zeros as we want in the rightmost to the numbers just like we can add zeroes to the left side of any whole number. this we can do because those zeroes do not carry any value so they don't affect the numbers.

So. They both are the same number.

(h) $\small 1.431$ or $\small 1.490$

1.490 is greater

(i) $\small 3.3$ or $\small 3.300$

As we know in decimal the RIGHTMOST zeros don't carry any value.so,

They both are the same number

(j) $\small 5.64$ or $\small 5.603$

5.64 is greater.

Question:2 Make five more examples and find the greater number from them.

Answer: we can take any two number from the number line and compare them. For example,

1) 9.9 > 3.3

2) 6.6 < 9.9

3) 3.6 > 3.3

4) 9.6 < 9.9

5) 6.9 > 3.9

(a) 8 m (b) 88 m (c) 8888 m (d) 70 km 5 m

Answer: As we know,

1 km = 1000 m

which means

$1\:m=\frac{1}{1000}\:km$

So,

(a) 8 m

$8\:m=8\times\frac{1}{1000}=\frac{8}{1000}=0.008\:km$

(b) 88 m

$88\:m=88\times\frac{1}{1000}=\frac{88}{1000}=0.088\:km$

$8888\:m=8888\times\frac{1}{1000}=\frac{8888}{1000}=8.888\:km$

(d) 70 km 5 m

$70\:km+5\:m=70+5\times\frac{1}{1000}=70+\frac{5}{1000}=70+0.005=70.005\:km$

Question:5 Express as kg using decimals.

(a) 2 g (b) 100 g (c) 3750 g
(d) 5 kg 8 g (e) 26 kg 50 g

Answer: As we know,

1 kg = 1000 g

which means

$1 g = \frac{1}{1000}kg$

So,

(a) 2 g

$2 g = \frac{2}{1000}kg=0.002kg$

(b) 100 g

$100 g = \frac{100}{1000}kg=0.1kg$

$3750 g = \frac{3750}{1000}kg=3.75kg$

(d) 5 kg 8 g

$5kg\:\:8g=5+8g =5kg+ \frac{8}{1000}kg=5kg+0.008kg=5.008kg$

(e) 26 kg 50 g

$26kg\:\:50g=26+50g =26kg+ \frac{50}{1000}kg=26kg+0.05kg=26.05kg$

Question: 2 Rashid spent Rs $\small 35.75$ for Maths book and Rs $\small 32.60$ for Science book. Find the total amount spent by Rashid.

Answer:

Amount spend on maths book = Rs $\small 35.75$

Amount spend on science book = Rs $\small 32.60$

Total amount spend = Rs $\small 35.75$ $+$ Rs $\small 32.60$

= Rs $68.35$

Hence the total amount spends by Rashid is Rs 68.35.

Question:3 Radhika’s mother gave her Rs $\small 10.50$ and her father gave her Rs $\small 15.80$ , find the total amount given to Radhika by the parents.

Answer:

The amount Radhika got from mother = Rs $\small 10.50$

The amount Radhika got from father = Rs $\small 15.80$

Total amount Radhika have = Rs $\small 10.50$ $+$ Rs $\small 15.80$

= Rs $26.30$

Hence the total amount of money Radhika got from her parents is Rs 26.30.

Question:4 Nasreen bought 3 m 20 cm cloth for her shirt and 2 m 5 cm cloth for her trouser. Find the total length of cloth bought by her.

Answer:

Length of cloth for shirt = 3 m 20 cm

Length of cloth for trouser = 2 m 5 cm

As we know.

For adding two numbers their unit must be the same.

So making length in meter:

$3m+20cm=3\:m+\frac{20}{100}m$

$=3\:m+0.2m$

$=3.2m$

and

$2m+5cm=2\:m+\frac{5}{100}m$

$=2\:m+0.05m$

$=2.05m$

Now,

Total Length of the cloth = 3.2 m + 2.05 m

= 5.25 m

Hence Nasreen bought clothe with a length of 5.25 m.

Question:5 Naresh walked 2 km 35 m in the morning and 1 km 7 m in the evening. How much distance did he walk in all?

Answer:

The distance covered in the morning = 2 km 35 m

The distance covered in the evening = 1 km 7 m

As we know.

For adding two numbers their unit must be the same.

So Lengths in the Kilometer :

$2 km+35m=2km+\frac{35}{1000}km$

$=2km+0.035km$

$=2.035km$

And

$1km+7m=1km+\frac{7}{1000}km$

$=1km+0.007km$

$=1.007\:km$

Now,

Total Distance covered by Naresh = 2.035 km + 1.007 km

= 3.042 km

Hence the distance covered by Naresh is 3.042 km.

Question:6 Sunita travelled 15 km 268 m by bus, 7 km 7 m by car and 500 m on foot in order to reach her school. How far is her school from her residence?

Answer:

The distance travelled by bus = 15 km 268 m

The distance travelled by car = 7 km 7 m

The distance travelled by foot = 500 m

As we know.

For adding two numbers their unit must be the same.

So,

$15 km +268 m = 15 km + \frac{268}{1000}km$

$= 15 km + 0.268km$

$= 15.268km$

Also

$7km+7m=7km+\frac{7}{1000}km$

$=7km+0.007km$

$=7.007km$

And,

$500m=\frac{500}{1000}km$

$=0.5km$

So,

The total distance Sunita traveled = 15.268 km + 7.007 km + 0.5 km

= 22.775 km

Hence the distance between Sunita's residence and school is 22.775 km.

Question:7 Ravi purchased 5 kg 400 g rice, 2 kg 20 g sugar and 10 kg 850g flour. Find the total weight of his purchases.

Answer:

amount of rice purchased by Ravi = 5 kg 400 g.

amount of sugar purchased by Ravi = 2 kg 20 g.

amount of flour purchased by Ravi = 10 kg 850 g.

As we know.

For adding two numbers their unit must be the same.

So,

$5\:kg+400g=5kg+\frac{400}{1000}kg$

$=5kg+0.4kg$

$=5.4kg$

Also,

$2\:kg+20g=2kg+\frac{20}{1000}kg$

$=2kg+0.02kg$

$=2.002kg$

And,

$10\:kg+850g=10kg+\frac{850}{1000}kg$

$=10kg+0.85kg$

$=10.85kg$

So,

The total weight of the grain Ravi purchased = 5.4 kg + 2.002 kg + 10.85 kg

= 18.270 kg

Hence Ravi purchased total grain having the weight of 18.270 kg.

weight of onion = 3 kg 500 g = 3.5 kg

weight of tomato = 2 kg 75 g = 2.075 kg

Total weight of onion and potato = 3.5 kg + 2.075 kg

= 5.575 kg

So, The rest weight of potato = 10 kg - 5.575 kg

= 4.425 kg

Hence, the weight of the potato is 4.425 kg.
